Guess I misunderstood your question. The following procedure might work. (1) prepare .spec by removing lines from %prep (2) rpmbuild -bp kernel-2.6.spec (3) go to BUILD (where .config is) (4) make xconfig (5) add # i386 to .config as the first line (6) copy this .config back to SOURCES (using the original name xxx.config) (7) rpmbuild -ba kernel-2.6.spec Or, instead of steps (5) to (7), just run: rpmbuild -bc --short-circuit kernel-2.6.spec (to build without going through %prep) This seems to work for me. At least the building process started without any errors. The only person who can help (and give you an authentic answer) is Johnny Hughes. Hope he can chime in here. Akemi
